Lenny Williams - Spark Of Love(Expanded Edition) Smr.
Following the success of CHOOSING YOU (reissue on
SoulMusic Records in 2014, SMCR-5116), his debut album
for ABC Records, Lenny Williams really hit his stride as
one of the premier black male vocalists of the ‘70s with
the 1978 release of SPARK OF LOVE which became his
best-selling and a gold album for the Arkansas-born,
California-raised singer/songwriter.
Lenny first came to the attention of the U.S. recordbuying
public as the lead singer for funk/soul band Tower
Of Power from 1972-1975 on now-classic hits such as
‘What Is Hip?’ and ‘So Very Hard To Go.’ Prior to that, he
recorded singles for Fantasy Records and Atlantic. Other
solo projects included a one-off solo LP with Warner and
one album for Motown (“Rise Sleeping Beauty”).
As he recounted in liner notes for this reissue of SPARK
OF LOVE (an expanded edition with three single edits) by
renowned US writer, Rashod Ollison, one of the songs on
the Motown LP was ‘’Cause I Love You’ which Lenny had
been performing live to great audience response. When
it came to recording his sophomore ABC project, Lenny
and producer Frank Wilson (known for his work with
Eddie Kendricks, The Four Tops and others) decided to
re-record the song as a ballad. Subsequently, the song
has become Lenny’s timeless signature tune, featured in
numerous soundtracks and sampled by major rap and
hip-hop artists, although never issued as a single.
This 2014 SoulMusic Records reissue also includes US R&B
hit singles, ‘You Got Me Running’ and ‘Midnight Girl.’
